Want to upgrade but no computer atm

Hey guys.. I'm currently on 4.4.2 stock rooted with xposed and Franco and would like to upgrade to 4.4.3.
I don't have access to a computer at the moment... So what would be the easiest way or anyway for that matter to upgrade?
Sorry if this a noob question but I am not super android savvy to be honest. Any help would be amazing.
If there was a guide or something to follow for someone in my position....
Thanks for any help

Somebody made a 4.4.4 system zip. Get that, and the flashable 4.4.4 radio zip.

Just flash a stock rooted ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48190796

you shouldnt do a single thing, nothing. not until you take some time to educate yourself first. if not, and you start messing around, youre gonna end up with a paperweight. seriously, im not being mean to you, im trying to be helpful. take some time, read about the basics, learn at least just what you need. start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...urce-guides-info-threads-linked-read-t2784527

Sorry it auto corrected. Yes you can flash a stick rooted rom. Such as the one from @bigxie that I linked but please try to heed @simms22 words. You always want to know what you are doing before you do it or you risk ending up with a paperweight. If you have this many questions flashing something new can wait until you are comfortable with what you are doing.

thanks lads... i know some but clearly not enough. Will read up between classes thanks!

How the h3ck do I back my newly rooted s5?

Greetings, All.
OK was real comfortable rooting my EVO-4G, and tweaking every aspect of it. ROM installs...
But That was quite some time ago, and a completely different brand of phone than my new
[Sprint] Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P). So I find myself a bit lost. What I'd like to do, is
make myself a backup. Before doing anything to it. You wouldn't mess with your phone
before making a backup, would you?
So I figure CWM is probably the best route to travel for this, yes? If so, what's the process?
I download ClockWorkMod, and what?
NOTE: I do not have/use Windows. So anything Windows related will not be an option.
Thank you for all your time, and consideration.

First, please edit the curse word out of the title. Curse words with symbols/letters are still curse words .
Second, since you're not on Windows, your only option is to root in Linux using heimdall(Google has tons on this). You can flash custom recovery through there. By the way, you technically don't need root to do a backup . Good luck!

I'm sorry, I meant use Google to narrow down the search XDA. Sometimes it's easier to search and put "xda" at the end in Google and find the forums you want. XDA has a good search function too, but Google is faster sometimes.

I use Philz recovery exclusively for my flashing, backup, rooting, everything. You're not using Odin(I recommend borrowing a buddy's laptop with Windows for 5 min, it's much easier than Heindall), so you'll have to research how to flash the tar through Linux, but it can be done. Here's the recovery tar. Be sure to thank @Phil3759 while you're over there. The man is a genius at building these recoveries. Good luck!

An Idiots Guide to Getting a ROM on a new phone. - HELP

I want to say, first thanks for the responses, even tho I fully expect some will be trolls and jerks.
I have spent many hours reading, watching videos, scouring threads to find this answer - and I can't.
My n5 is lollipop'd up, and I think it's time to go to a ROM... Cataclysm for now as it seems to have exactly what I want/need.
Thing is, everything I read is either incomplete, confusing, for kit kat, or gives pretty varying info on how to go from COMPLETELY STOCK STATE to a rom.
DO you know of, or does there exist a LEGIT/TRUSTED video/guide from VERY STEP 1 (as in, stock and never altered) Lollipop to getting a ROM such as cataclysm on the phone.
The other part which confuses me is Cataclysm has root already? SO you dont have to do the step of rooting yourself, or is that not correct?
Again, I apologize for the uber rookie posting, but I have done a lot of reading, and unfortunately, most of it stinks.
Thanks ahead.

The one gotcha: BACK YOUR /SDCARD FOLDER UP! Before you do anything do that. Back up your pictures and stuff. Maybe move everything to the cloud if you don't have a place locally to put it.

thanks for this... the one link inside there was EXACTLY what I needed, and literally was as clear and concise as anything id found in weeks of research.
read it, followed it, and got cataclysm on my phone, quickly and easily. LOVE THIS ROM.
also got the volume booster app on there, which seriously helps w the tunes.
love it, and thanks guys! backed up my pics, but forgot to backup my music. no biggie, had it on all on a HD.

Quick Question: Now that Cataclysm is set up to my liking, w settings etc, apps...
Should I make a nandroid backup in TWRP? Would this be the point to do it?
Thanks again

if you know what nandroid exactly then it is a good idea to use it, otherwise it may cause more harm then help, such as wipe out your efs if you do something very wrong.

How do you mean? Seems straightforward, or am I wrong?
1) boot into recovery (I use twrp)
2) click "backup"
3) make sure system, data and boot are checked
4) rename to whatever (cataclysmbackup)
5) swipe to backup
6) reboot
HOw would I potentially wipe out efs, etc?

Sure it won't wipe out efs when backup, what I mean is when you restore the backup and do something wrong.

What? The only way you mess up your efs by restoring is to restore an efs from another device. @Soulfly3. Making a nandroid at this point is an excellent idea. I highly recommend it. Just use twrp's default backup and you'll be fine.

Data transfer error, fault cable, PC hang when flashing, there are lot of chance to fail.
Sure nandroid is good, what I wanna say is understand what it backup, and what to restore when need, if not and just do the backup without fully understanding, then when something goes wrong it may become a disaster.
P.s. saw so many nooby ask for help when the flashing goes wrong.

I'm not understanding you. When you make a nandroid you make it from your device and it stores on your device and you restore it from your device. Not sure where the faulty cables and pc hang comes from.

THanks so much @jd1639 . I did make a Nandroid backup... had no idea it'd be 3+ GB. wow hahaha.
That's ok... Now I assume I should also transfer/copy it over to my PC, just for ultimate safety... correct? If so, is it as simple as c/p the folder?
What Im reading says yes, it's that simple... then some others are complicating it saying no no, you gotta take these extra steps.. gah

As you know it's a big file so a lot will have to do how much space you have on the device. But I usually leave them on my device with one recent one copied to the pc too just in case.

Same as any toolkit, it is good to understand what it actually does.

Yep, that or find someone else that's got a computer with USB and internet connection.

If Lollipop requires an updated bootloader (I haven't checked on that) you're done. Cause you would need your flash the new bootloader. (with fastboot... So a computer required)
If it doesn't, just flash a custom Lollipop ROM that's close to stock.
If you can't find a factory firmware zip in the development section, then that's all you can do.
Aside from getting access to a computer as already suggested.

Nobody here is trolling.
OP came in here asking for a zip - didn't even bother to look on the dev section.
we told him to fix his computer - he says he's got no money (but yet he's got a N5)
told him to find someone WITH a working computer - got ignored.
Sorry, no more spoonfeeding for you.

If you can get back to stock somehow on KitKat you may be able to OTA.

The simple solution isn't always simple for somebody on fixed bandwidth with no actual internet or ISP, a 2GB file is not an option for me at this point. A small APK that's mere KB's is a much better alternative. Thanks though.

I actually ended up in a hotel as of recently, so I just used the wifi while enjoying the stay. Needless to say, while being "lazy" I managed to pull the APK from the stock rom and upload it to devhost.

One problem. It doesn't seem to play well. Installation fails and I'm not quite sure how to make it work. If anyone needs anything else from me, please let me know. I made a backup of the stock rom.

MetroPCS Official Device Unlock APP - SOLVED
This will work if you have a un-rooted MetroPCS device
1. Please back up all your data ( any pictures, video contacts etc).
2. NOTE This step will delete all your data and wipe your phone clean - Do a factory data reset : - go to setting and search for "reset"
when your phone restarts it will load up the MetroPCS stock ROM and you will have all of the MetroPCS app suite including the official MetroPCS device unlock app.
